BTW, I did find a tumbler at ******** AZ. Are you referring to the only [I]exact replacement being available at the dealership? Our dealer SUCKS - he's one of those every brand type of dealers and there is no loyalty regardless of the brand you own, so I know he'll do me no favors.

The point is, if you can still turn your key to position 1 you're in luck and it's a 30 sec. repair, if you can't turn your key at all, then it's a 3 hour plus job.
Replace the tumbler ASAP!
If you will PM me with your email address, I'll send you a Word attachment that will show you how to replace the tumbler along with a picture of a selfmade removal tool.
